BACKGROUND Technical Field

The present invention relates to an LED illuminant module and lighting apparatus and, more specifically, to a high color rendering D50/D65 standard LED illuminant module and a lighting apparatus, which have high color rendering properties and excellent metamerism index characteristics by using a high color rendering LED and an ultraviolet LED.

Background Art

Many people often experience that the color of the clothes they saw at a clothing store looks different when they see the clothes later. This phenomenon occurs because a color of an object perceived by people varies depending on the lighting.

Therefore, in a case in which it is necessary to accurately inspect colors of woven fabrics, printed matters, or the like, the color needs to be determined under an environment in which inspection lamps, which conform to the predetermined standard lighting specifications, are used, as can be seen in FIG. 1. In this case, in order to satisfy the standard lighting specifications, a color rendering index (CRI) at various wavelengths needs to be a predetermined reference value or higher (e.g., an average color rendering index (Ra) of R1 to R15 is 90 or higher), and a metamerism index (MI), which indicates how differently colors are perceived depending on the lighting), also needs to have a value equal to or smaller than a reference value.

More specifically, FIG. 2 illustrates the specifications for D65 (6,500K Daylight) and D50 (5,000K Daylight) standard illuminants according to the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS). Reference values need to be satisfied so that a visible-range metamerism index (MIvis) is 1.0 or lower, a UV-range metamerism index (MIuv) is 1.5 or lower, an average color rendering index is 95% or higher, and a special color rendering indexes R9 to R15 are 85% or higher. In addition, according to the specifications of the International Standardization Organization (ISO), the respective reference values need to be satisfied so that the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis) is 1.0 or lower, the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv) is 1.5 or lower, the average color rendering index is 90% or higher, and each of the color rendering indexes including the special color rendering indexes R9 to R15 is 80% or higher.

In the related art, a mercury or fluorescent lamp has been generally used as a standard illuminant, but the use of the mercury or fluorescent lamp is increasingly restricted worldwide due to problems such as low energy efficiency as well as substances harmful to the environment.

While there have been various attempts made to implement a standard illuminant using a light-emitting diode (LED) or the like, it is difficult to implement a high color rendering index (CRI) at various wavelengths and it is more difficult to implement characteristics excellent in the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis) and the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv) because the light-emitting diode (LED) has the property of emitting light having a specific wavelength.

For this reason, despite efforts to implement the standard illuminant using the light-emitting diode (LED) or the like, the standard illuminant, which uses the light-emitting diode (LED) and has a performance sufficient for the standard illuminant, has not yet been implemented.

In the description of the present invention, the specific descriptions of publicly known related configurations or functions will be omitted when it is determined that the specific descriptions may obscure the subject matter of the present invention.

As can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 4, the illuminant module 10 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include one or more ultraviolet light-emitting diode devices 220 and one or more first white light-emitting diode devices 100.

In this case, the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 200 may be a light-emitting diode (LED) having a peak emission wavelength of 300 nm to 400 nm, and the first white light-emitting diode device 100 may be a light-emitting diode (LED) having an average color rendering index (Ra) of 90% or higher.

In this case, the first phosphor layer 150 may include a first phosphor 152 having a peak emission wavelength of 440 nm to 499 nm, a second phosphor 153 having a peak emission wavelength of 500 nm to 580 nm, and a third phosphor 154 having a peak emission wavelength of 600 nm to 699 nm.

Further, the illuminant module 10 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a board 200 on which the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 220 and the first white light-emitting diode 100 are mounted, a support unit 320 on which the board 200 is seated, a light transmissive member 300 configured to accommodate therein the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 220 and the first white light-emitting diode 100 and transmit the light emitted from the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 220 and the first white light-emitting diode 100, and connecting units 310 electrically connected to the board 200 and configured to supply external power.

Hereinafter, the respective constituent elements of the illuminant module 10 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

First, FIG. 5 exemplarily illustrates the first white light-emitting diode device 100 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the first white light-emitting diode device 100 includes the first LED chip 130 mounted on the base board 110. The first white light-emitting diode device 100 may be joined by ball grids 210 by a surface mount technology (SMT) and mounted on various types of boards 200 such as a metal board (metal PCB). Of course, the package structure illustrated in FIG. 5 is an example in which the LED device according to the present invention is applied, and the package structure may also be implemented by other packaging methods.

A frame 170 having a predetermined shape, e.g., a cylindrical shape is installed on the base board 110 of the first white light-emitting diode device 100, and a reflector configured to efficiently reflect the light emitted from the first LED chip 130 is installed on an inner surface of the frame 170. Although not illustrated, one electrode of the first LED chip 130 may be electrically connected to the frame 170 through a bonding wire. In addition, the other electrode of the first LED chip 130 may be electrically connected to a metal wire on the base board.

The first LED chip 130 includes a light-emitting diode having a peak wavelength of 440 nm to 460 nm. The InGaN-based light-emitting diode or the GaN-based light-emitting diode may be used as the light-emitting diode. In the present invention, other types of light emitting devices such as laser diodes may be used instead of the first LED chip 130.

The first LED chip 130 is surrounded by the first phosphor layer 150. The first phosphor layer 150 includes phosphors 152, 153, and 154 that emit light having a predetermined wavelength by being excited at the light emitting wavelength of the first LED chip 130. In the present invention, the phosphor is particularly provided in the form of powder. To this end, the first phosphor layer 150 may include transparent resin that disperses and fixes the phosphors and seals the first LED chip 130.

In the present invention, typical silicone or epoxy resin may be used as the transparent resin.

In the present invention, the phosphors 152, 153, and 154 are made of fluorescent materials having different compositions. Particularly, the phosphors include at least three types of fluorescent materials having different light emitting wavelengths. In the present invention, the phosphors 152, 153, and 154 include a first phosphor B configured to emit blue light by being excited by the light emitted from the first LED chip 130, a second phosphor G configured to emit green light, and a third phosphor R configured to emit red light. In the present invention, the first, second, and third phosphors may be oxides or nitrides.

In the present invention, the first phosphor 152 is excited by the light emitted from the first LED chip 100 and emits light having a peak wavelength of 440 nm to 499 nm. The peak emission wavelength of the first phosphor 152 is larger than the peak wavelength of the light emitted from the first LED chip 130.

In the present invention, a phosphor, which is expressed by the following Chemical Formula 1 and emits blue light, may be used as the first phosphor 152.

(Ba,Eu)SiO_(x)(O,Cl)_(x)N_(x)(1<x<5)   (Chemical Formula 1)

In the present invention, the second phosphor 153 is excited by the light emitted from the first LED chip 130 and emits light having a peak wavelength of 500 nm to 580 nm. Phosphors, which are expressed by the following Chemical Formulas 2 to 4 and emit green light, may be used alone or in combination as the second phosphor 153.

(Sr,Ba,Ca)_(x)SiO_(2x):Eu (1<x<5)   (Chemical Formula 2)

Si_(6-y)Al_(y)O_(y)N_(8-y):Eu (0.1<y<0.5)   (Chemical Formula 3)

Al_(8-z)Lu_(z)O₁₂:Ce++(1<z<5)   (Chemical Formula 4)

In the present invention, the third phosphor 154 is excited by the light emitted from the first LED chip 130 and emits light having a peak wavelength of 600 nm to 699 nm. Phosphors, which are expressed by the following Chemical Formulas 5 and 6, may be used alone or in combination as the third phosphor 154.

(Sr,Ca)AlSiN_(x):Eu (1<x<5)

CaAlSiN_(y):Eu (1<y<5)

Further, two or more types of light-emitting diode (LED) devices having different peak wavelengths may be used as the first white light-emitting diode devices 100, thereby improving characteristics, such as the metamerism index, of the illuminant module 10.

Next, the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 220 may include one or more light-emitting diodes having a peak emission wavelength of 300 nm to 400 nm.

In this case, the amount of light emitted from the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 220 and having a wavelength of 300 nm to 400 nm may be within a range from 20% to 80% of the total amount of light emitted from the illuminant module 10. Further, a correlated color temperature CCT of the illuminant module 10 may be within a range from 2,000K to 10,000K.

In addition, the required standard lighting specifications (e.g., the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis), the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv), the average color rendering index (Ra), and the special color rendering indexes (R9 to R15)) of the illuminant module 10 may be greatly improved by adjusting a numerical value of UV content, which corresponds to the ultraviolet content of the light emitted from the illuminant module 10, so that the numerical value of UV content is within a range from 60 to 160. This will be described below in more detail with reference to experimental results in respect to the exemplary embodiments.

In addition, the same type of light-emitting diode (LED) does not necessarily have to be used as the ultraviolet light-emitting diode (LED) device, and two or more types of light-emitting diode (LED) devices having different peak wavelengths may be used. In particular, since the two or more types of ultraviolet light-emitting diode (LED) devices having different peak wavelengths are used together, the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis) and the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv) may be greatly improved. This will be described below in more detail with reference to experimental results in respect to the exemplary embodiments.

Further, in the present invention, the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 220 may have a package structure in which the ultraviolet LED chip is mounted on the base board 110, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. Various structures such as a structure in which the ultraviolet LED chip is mounted directly on the board 200 and emits ultraviolet rays may be applied.

More specifically, in the case of the illuminant module 10 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the illuminant is configured by using the one or more ultraviolet light-emitting diode devices 220 having a peak emission wavelength of 300 nm to 400 nm and the one or more first white light-emitting diode (LED) devices having an average color rendering index (Ra) of 90% or higher. As a result, it is possible to achieve the high color rendering index (CRI) and the excellent metamerism index (MI) which are required for the standard illuminant but were hardly implemented by the light-emitting diode (LED) in the related art.

That is, as can be seen in FIG. 2, according to the specifications of the D65 (6,500K Daylight) standard illuminant according to the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS), the reference values need to be satisfied so that the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis) is 1.0 or lower, the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv) is 1.5 or lower, the average color rendering index is 95% or higher, and the special color rendering indexes R9 to R15 are 85% or higher (in the case of the specifications according to the International Standardization Organization (ISO), the average color rendering index is 90% or higher and each of the color rendering indexes including the special color rendering indexes R9 to R15 is 80% or higher). However, the average color rendering index is implemented to be about 75% to 80% by the typical light-emitting diode (LED) in the related art, and the special color rendering index significantly deteriorates at a particular wavelength. Further, it is even more difficult to implement excellent characteristics such as the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis) and the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv).

In contrast, in the case of the illuminant module 10 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the illuminant is configured by using the one or more ultraviolet light-emitting diode devices 220 having the peak emission wavelength of 300 nm to 400 nm and the one or more first white light-emitting diode (LED) devices having the average color rendering index (Ra) of 90% or higher. As a result, the respective reference values may be satisfied so that the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis) is 1.0 or lower, the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv) is 1.5 or lower, the average color rendering index (Ra) is 90% or higher, and each of the color rendering indexes including the special color rendering indexes R9 to R15 is 80% or higher.

Further, the board 200 may be provided with a pad on which the first white light-emitting diode 100 and the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 220 are mounted, and a circuit pattern configured to operate the first white light-emitting diode 100 and the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 220. The board 200 may be made of a dielectric material such as FR-4. Further, the board 200 may be made of various materials and configured as a metal board (metal PCB) in order to facilitate the dissipation of heat from the first white light-emitting diode 100 and the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 220. In this case, the board 200 may be electrically connected to the connecting units 310 and supplied with external power.

Further, the illuminant module 10 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be provided with the support unit 320 on which the board 200 is seated. Further, in order to facilitate the dissipation of heat from the board 200, the support unit 320 may be made of metal or may have a structure advantageous to the dissipation of heat.

In addition, the illuminant module 10 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be provided with the light transmissive member 300 that accommodates therein the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 220 and the first white light-emitting diode 100 and transmits the light emitted from the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 220 and the first white light-emitting diode 100. The light transmissive member 300 may be made of PMMA, glass, or the like that may effectively transmit the ultraviolet light emitted from the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 220 and the light emitted from the first white light-emitting diode 100. Further, the light transmissive member 300 may be made of a semi-transparent material in order to reduce light blindness.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 6A/B to 9A/B based on experimental values of the illuminant module 10 that conforms to the specifications of the illuminant D65 (6,500K) according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

First, FIGS. 6A, 7A, 8A and 9A illustrate experimental performance values for respective items in the illuminant module 10 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, FIGS. 6A, 7A, 8A and 9A sequentially illustrate experimental values when the illuminant module 10 is configured by using the first white light-emitting diode device 100 having the average color rendering index of 90% or higher, the ultraviolet light-emitting diode devices 220 having peak wavelengths of 360 nm, 385 nm, and 405 nm, and the two ultraviolet light-emitting diode devices 220 having peak wavelengths of 360 nm and 405 nm.

Further, FIGS. 6B, 7B, 8B and 9B illustrate light emitting spectra of the illuminant module 10 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, in the present invention, the measured data including the correlated color temperature CCT, the UV content, the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis), the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv), the average color rendering index (Ra), and the special color rendering indexes (R9 to R15) in respect to respective examples and comparative examples are calculated by using SPECTIS 1.0 Touch equipment of GL OPTIC.

First, it can be seen that in the case illustrated in FIG. 6A (the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 220 having a wavelength of 360 nm is used), the numerical value of the UV content is gradually increased as an input electric current (IF) is increased, and the reference values of the standard illuminant may be satisfied as the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv) is gradually decreased (6.0→1.5).

More specifically, as can be seen in FIG. 6A, it can be ascertained that the numerical value of the UV content becomes 60 or more when the input electric current (IF) is within a range from 450 mA to 700 mA, such that the illuminant module 10 according to the present invention satisfies all the specifications in respect to the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis), the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv), the average color rendering index (Ra), and the special color rendering indexes (R9 to R15).

Further, FIG. 7A illustrates that in the case in which the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 220 having a wavelength of 385 nm is used, the numerical value of the UV content is gradually increased as the input electric current (IF) is increased, and the reference values of the standard illuminant may be satisfied as the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv) is gradually decreased (5.9→1.5).

More specifically, as can be seen in FIG. 7A, the numerical value of the UV content is within a range from 60 to 120 when the input electric current (IF) is within a range from 150 mA to 180 mA, such that the illuminant module 10 according to the present invention satisfies all the specifications in respect to the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis), the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv), the average color rendering index (Ra), and the special color rendering indexes (R9 to R15).

In addition, in the case in which the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 220 having a wavelength of 405 nm is used as illustrated in FIG. 8A, even though the input electric current (IF) is increased, the numerical value of the UV content remains within a range below about 35, and the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv) has a value of 3.5 or more, such that the reference values of the standard illuminant cannot be satisfied.

However, even in this case, as can be seen in FIG. 9A, the illuminant module 10 is configured by using the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 220 having the wavelength of 405 nm and the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 220 having the wavelength of 360 nm, such that all the specifications in respect to the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis), the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv), the average color rendering index (Ra), and the special color rendering indexes (R9 to R15) may be satisfied, and more excellent characteristics may be implemented.

That is, as can be seen in FIG. 9A, it can be ascertained that in the case in which the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 220 having the wavelength of 405 nm and the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 220 having the wavelength of 360 nm are used together and the input electric current of the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 220 having the wavelength of 360 nm is increased to 420 mA or higher, the numerical value of the UV content becomes 60 or more, such that the illuminant module 10 according to the present invention satisfies all the specifications in respect to the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis), the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv), the average color rendering index (Ra), and the special color rendering indexes (R9 to R15), the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis) may be decreased to 0.4, and the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv) may be decreased to 1.2, thereby implementing very excellent metamerism index characteristics.

Next, FIG. 10A illustrates experimental performance values for respective items in the illuminant module 10 according to the specifications of the illuminant D50 (5,000K) according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, FIG. 10A illustrates experimental values when the illuminant module 10 is configured by using the first white light-emitting diode device 100 having the average color rendering index of 90% or higher and the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 220 having the peak wavelength of 385 nm.

In addition, FIG. 10B illustrates light emitting spectra of the illuminant module 10 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

In this case, it can be seen that in the case illustrated in FIG. 10A (when the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 220 having a wavelength of 385 nm is used), the numerical value of the UV content is gradually increased as the input electric current (IF) is increased, and the reference values of the standard illuminant may be satisfied as the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv) is gradually decreased (4.5→0.8).

More specifically, as can be seen in FIG. 10A, it can be ascertained that the numerical value of the UV content becomes 60 to 130 when the input electric current (IF) is within a range from 65 mA to 110 mA, such that the illuminant module 10 according to the present invention may satisfy all the specifications in respect to the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis), the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv), the average color rendering index (Ra), and the special color rendering indexes (R9 to R15).

Therefore, referring to the experimental values for the specifications of the illuminant D50 (5,000K), it can be ascertained that all the specifications in respect to the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis), the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv), the average color rendering index (Ra), and the special color rendering indexes (R9 to R15) may be satisfied as the illuminant module 10 is configured by combining the first white light-emitting diode device 100 having the average color rendering index of 90% or higher and the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 220 of the wavelength of 300 nm to 400 nm, like the specifications for the illuminant D65 (6,500K).

In contrast, FIGS. 11A and 11B illustrate experimental performance values and light emitting spectra for respective items in the illuminant module 10 using a light-emitting diode (Ra=80) having typical ductility as a comparative example with respect to the present invention.

More specifically, FIG. 11A illustrates experimental values when the illuminant module 10 is configured by using a typical white light-emitting diode device having an average color rendering index of about 80% and the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 220 having the peak wavelength of 365 nm.

In addition, FIG. 11B illustrates light emitting spectra of the illuminant module 10 according to the comparative example.

In this case, it can be seen that in the case illustrated in FIG. 11A (when the white light-emitting diode device having the average color rendering index of about 80% and the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 220 having the wavelength of 365 nm are used), the reference value of the standard illuminant (MIvis is 1.0 or lower) cannot be satisfied because the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis) has a value of 1.2 or more even though the numerical value of the UV content is gradually increased as the input electric current (IF) is increased.

Further, FIGS. 12 and 13 illustrate performance values measured by an integrating sphere in respect to the illuminant module 10 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

In this case, a single-color light-emitting diode having a peak emission wavelength of 400 nm to 470 nm may be used as the blue light-emitting diode 102.

Therefore, in the present invention, the illuminant module 10 is configured by using the one or more blue light-emitting diode devices 102 having the peak emission wavelength of 400 nm to 470 nm in addition to the first white light-emitting diode 100 and the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 220, such that the illuminant module 10 may have improved metamerism index characteristics.

Further, peak wavelength spectrum intensity of the ultraviolet light-emitting diode device 220 at the wavelength of 300 nm to 400 nm may be within a range of 60% to 90% of peak wavelength spectrum intensity of the blue light-emitting diode device 102 at the wavelength of 400 nm to 470 nm.

More specifically, FIG. 14 exemplarily illustrates experimental performance results for respective items according to the specifications of the illuminant D65 of the illuminant module 10 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 14, when making a comparison between experimental performance results of Example 1 (the first white light-emitting diode 100 and the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 220) and Example 2 (the first white light-emitting diode 100, the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 220, and the blue light-emitting diode 102), it can be ascertained that in contrast to Example 1 in which the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis) is 0.7 and the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv) is 1.5, the performance value is greatly improved in Example 2 in which the visible-range metamerism index (MIvis) is 0.5 and the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv) is 0.8.

As can be seen in FIG. 15A, it can be seen that as the input electric current (IF) is increased, the numerical value of the UV content is gradually increased, and the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv) is decreased, such that the UV-range metamerism index (MIuv) may be greatly decreased to 1.0 or lower when the input electric current (IF) is within a range from 190 mA to 250 mA.

Further, the illuminant module 10 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may further include one or more second white light-emitting diode devices 101 having an average color rendering index of 90% or higher in addition to the first white light-emitting diode 100 and the ultraviolet light-emitting diode 220.

In this case, similar to the structure of the first white light-emitting diode 100 in FIG. 5, the second white light-emitting diode device 101 may be a light-emitting diode (LED) device including a second LED chip 140 having an excitation wavelength of 400 nm to 440 nm and a second phosphor layer 160 configured to emit light by being excited at the excitation wavelength of the second LED chip 140.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first phosphor 152, the second phosphor 153, and the third phosphor 154 included in the second phosphor layer 160 may be identical to the first phosphor 152, the second phosphor 153, and the third phosphor 154 included in the first phosphor layer 150, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto.

Further, two or more types of light-emitting diode (LED) devices having different peak wavelengths may be used as the first white light-emitting diode devices 100 and the second white light-emitting diode devices 101, thereby improving characteristics, such as the metamerism index, of the illuminant module 10.

Furthermore, in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first white light-emitting diode 100 and the second white light-emitting diode 101 may be configured and used as separate devices, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. The first white light-emitting diode 100 and the second white light-emitting diode 101 may be integrated and used as a single device.
